allieg Posted August 31, 2015 Share Posted August 31, 2015 Can I have nuts as a fat part of my meal? I was thinking so but as I've been reading more and more it seems like they should be eaten sparingly? I bought some today at Trader Joes, but don't want to have them if their not encouraged.

GFChris Posted August 31, 2015 Share Posted August 31, 2015 Yes you can have nuts as your meal's fat, and yes nuts are recommended to be limited on a Whole30. Choose other fat sources as your primary fat instead. Make sure whatever you bought at Trader Joe's has compliant oils and/or seasonings for ingredients.

Chachers04 Posted August 31, 2015 Share Posted August 31, 2015 I usually end up having nuts most of the time for fat. My body doesn't care for avocado or fatty meats, but it tolerates nuts well. (I change it up, of course too) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(I change it up, of course too)You have lots of other choices: olives, coconut oil, coconut milk, clarified butter, ghee, homemade mayo, tallow, duck fat, etc.Best nuts are cashews, hazelnuts and macadamia. They are rich in monounsaturated fat and lowest in polyunsaturated fat, which Whole30 recommends limiting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bainstorm Posted August 31, 2015 Share Posted August 31, 2015 I think I blew it today . Had a package of Emerald 100 cal. dry roasted almonds. Did not check the ingredients . I see Sugar there. Less than 2% of the seasoning ,but still there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
